Looking for help and ideas, from Pittsburgh

Hi all,
I'm Tony from Pittsburgh. Just moved here from Puerto Rico, got settled in a home, and wifey promised we could have a big screen. Decided to go with a projector. Bought an Epson Power Lite Home 1080, now I'm working on a good receiver. I am a Do-it-Yourselfer and have built speakers and minor electronic gear in the past (in between rebuilding cars, cabinetry, leatherwork, furniture, archery, fishing rods, et al). My only real hobby is building things, anything. I hate to pay for something I think I could build better and cheaper. It normally turns out about as good and twice as expensive, but I sure enjoy the challenge and love to learn. I have lots of questions, hope you can help. Maybe I can help someone else along the way. TTH

Mark, What are those speakers you have on your user ID? They look like Onkyos, but I have never seen any that large by Onkyo. What are the specs like and where does one find them?
